Sorry. Totally right. I can't edit the linked post anymore, but I've added it as a comment.

As @Alaknar@lemm.ee rightly pointed out, this only works for Nvidia GPUs. No idea what the method for AMD GPUs is, if there is one.

It's good, and it's funny. So much so that I'm jealous.
With this potential critical mass combined with the gaming community it's all downhill for Windoze from here.

PS How to force Steam games in Linux to use an Nvidia GPU, because games might unknowingly perform needlessly bad.

"Are you 14?"

Irrelevant.

ad hominem (adjective, ad ho·​mi·​nem (ˈ)ad-ˈhä-mə-nəm -ˌnem)

1. appealing to feelings or prejudices rather than intellect
2. marked by or being an attack on an opponent's character rather than by an answer to the contentions made

"Cryptocurrencies are a tool, similar to how money is a tool. You can’t blame money itself for all the scummy shit done using it, similarly for cryptocurrencies."

A knife is a tool. Knives can be used for food and violence. However, knives do not persuade their users to buy as many knives as they can, they do not incentivize manipulating others to do so too, nor do knives inherently encourage violence. The exact opposite is true for crypto"currencies" because these are multi-level marketing pyramid schemes. As soon as one joins the Crypto Cult one benefits from recruiting new members—often by indoctrination and/or demagoguery.

"There’s a legitimate use for crypto, to support something you use and (probably) enjoy, and you want them to remove it to set a good example?"

Of course they should remove it, for it is the moral thing to do. The only legitimate use is donating to entities who have their access to a bank account removed, e.g., whistle blowers, Z-Library, et cetera. In any other case it is an unethical instrument that brings out the worst in humanity.

"All of this existed (except the bit about nazi coins) already."

Whataboutism fallacy.

This whataboutism is probably the most used fallacy within the crypto"currency" sphere. If A and B cause cancer, and A was first, it doesn't follow that B is less malignant.
